Kosher Slurpees Drive Sales at 7/11 Stores

The 711 store at 2741 W. Touhy in Chicago includes a Slurpee machine that is kosher certified by the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc). The week prior to Pesach the store sold 700 Slurpees a day but once the holiday started sales dropped to 100 Slurpees a day.

The kosher certified Slurpees are part of a growing kosher presence for the 711 stores.

One manager said that the kosher Slurpees certainly help attract kosher customers “and encourages them to buy many other products that are kosher.” Some 711 stores have gone the extra mile even serving Chalav Yisrael and Glatt kosher products including hotdogs.
